Endurance: Shackleton\'s Legendary Antarctic Expedition
This combination of photographs by Frank Hurley, maps, diary entries, and
brief explanatory text captures one of the great stories of exploration. In
1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton and five sailors made a remarkable 800-mile boat
journey and crossed the mountains of New South Georgia to reach a whaling
station and organize the rescue of the rest of his crew, stranded when their
ship, Endurance, was crushed in pack ice near Antarctica. This online
exhibition from the American Museum of Natural History also includes
information about the physical exhibition.

original 12 signatories of the Antarctic Accord and has physically been
involved in Antarctica since 1959 when it took over the old Norwegian base.
Since then three bases have been built on Queen Maud land, all of which have
since been decommissioned due to snow build up. In order to circumvent the
accumulation of snow and consequent deterioration of the base, it was
decided to build the new base, SANAE IV, on a rock outcrop (nunatuk) called
Vesleskarvet. Scientific studies into upper air-, ionospheric- and
magnetospheric physics are conducted by teams from the Universities of
Potchefstroom and Natal (Durban).
